Mosquitos and Heartworm: Easy to Prevent, Difficult to Treat Happy Pets Veterinary Center

 Did you know there are 22 species of mosquito in the U.S. that carry heartworm?
It only takes one bite from one infected mosquito to spread heartworm disease to your pet.  Due to the heavy rains earlier this year, the mosquito population is up!
Heartworm disease is a serious, potentially fatal condition. Heartworm treatment for dogs is expensive, lengthy and stressful and there is no approved heartworm treatment for cats.
The good news is that heartworm disease is almost 100 percent preventable.
Fortunately, a simple blood test followed by a monthly preventative will prevent Heartworm disease.
In fact, many heartworm preventatives have the added benefit of protecting against intestinal parasites and even fleas. We consider this so important that we are removing all obstacles to getting your pet tested.
Happy Pets is currently offering a free heartworm test when you purchase a Revolution three-pack.
If your pet is not currently taking a monthly heartworm preventative, please get your pet tested soon.
Call us now at 661-295-9972 for more details. Please ask to ensure you get our special heartworm prevention offer. This offer is for The Magazine of Santa Clarita readers and is good through May 31, 2017.
